6:03 pm
a huge can employment and it's producing and whole social best composition of the old society with so many going against the system across europe at times clashing violently with the police the decision to award the e.u. with the peace prize has raised many eyebrows this is like giving the prize to frankenstein for being the best monster created during the past twelve months there's only one contender for the peace prize this year and that's julian assad the fact that he did not win this prize is will be in a terminal stain on the nobel committee no one has done more to push peace than julian assange should be getting the so war from this committee the fact that they turn to a bunch of machines and technocrats and the a hero is an embarrassment they should go back to making dynamite. this award is even more questionable to some because of the e.u. is rather dubious peacemaking record and that moreover the current financial turmoil is the biggest danger to peace europe has been bombing libya europe has
6:04 pm
been bombing syria europe isn't bombing afghanistan or iraq yugoslavia a few years ago yes it's because they're trying to say ok guys we're giving you a hold your together europe has been spending money they don't have that's going to have to stop that is going to cause more riots in the streets more social unrest more governments failing perhaps even countries failing and perhaps even people pulling out of the euro and could lead to war again in europe in two thousand and nine barack obama won the same award having been in office for only two weeks that was before he sent more troops to afghanistan and waged war in libya but as the latest nobel peace prize award is debated worldwide protesters in spain seem to care little about the prestige than their own survival calls for independence are heard loud and clear in the country's largest and wealthiest region got the lumia a clear indication the continent is losing that unity which the nobel committee has decided to. see reporting from madrid in spain.

in belgium separatists have secured big gains in the country's dutch speaking region of flanders leader of the flemish nationalist party is looking to become the mayor of and one of europe's key ports is regarded as a breakthrough for supporters of flemish independence and as a belgian belgian politician philip class says it's been a long time coming. the idea is gaining ground that's the most important thing because we are having a lot of problems now in belgium we see that france is the federal government doesn't have a majority on the flemish side in the federal parliament although the flemings make up the majority of the population in belgium the federal government doesn't have a majority in flanders and that's of course is a big problem it's a problem of democratic deficit and this means this government doesn't have a real democratic legitimacy in flanders voted for come something completely
6:06 pm
different that we are getting now with this federal government and flanders is an economic economically socially powerful prosperous region we have we are already if we have a flemish nation we have a flemish people you have to know that belgium is an artificial country it's really two separate countries already within belgium and we see a completely different political consensus on the federation on the world will lose side and flanders would be perfectly able to have to have an independent state and be a member of the you know european union. the u.n. and arab league envoy to syria has drawn up plans for a three thousand strong peacekeeping force that could see european troops policing in the future troops u.s. and u.k. forces are unlikely to take part because of their involvement in other conflicts while countries like germany and france are expected to play a leading role international affairs defense analysts like integrate care should be
6:07 pm
taken to choosing which countries contribute to any peacekeeping force. but that's not for get. countries like france the united kingdom have the clear that they are supporting the insurgency. they have so they're providing non-lethal support but in fact it seems to. tell us so he says they're quite people will be supporting the free syrian army and police are probably. in it one of the proposals i think for. mr brahimi east to try to get this cease fire on the part of the syrian government but how can this syrian government released e-coli implement this cease fire when the rebels don't want the cease fire because they want to the government militarily on day no they help you but you know at the moment this states it all full members of the european union saudi arabia of cut don't go over there it will feed persian gulf arab states it turkey of course a member of nato you're them so. we want to see how he goes

while the u.n. struggles to end violence in syria tensions are on the rise with turkey auguries now closed its airspace to syrian civilian flights echoing an earlier move by damascus this after turkey intercepted a syrian passenger jet wednesday claiming it was a legally carrying russian made weapons allegation strongly denied by moscow parties or in english though has more. they pointed their guns at those hungover and put those on the ground then they drove us back to the plane into vehicles. bruised arms and better dignity with an international scandal thrown in on top all in the name of peace at least that's the stance taken by the turkish authorities when they tried to justify force for the grounding is syrian plane on route from moscow to damascus us. we in turkey only want peace and safety in this region that is our desire but we would never have an incentive to start a war hasn't revealed exactly what was in the cargo of that plane though they do
6:09 pm
insist it was russian made ammunition and technical equipment something moscow the mentally denies. what was unique and there was certainly no armaments on this plane and they simply could not have been any the aircraft was carrying a cargo that was being shipped from a legitimate russian supplier to a legitimate customer in a legitimate way there was a cargo of electrical supplies for radar stations this is dual purpose equipment but it is not barred by any international conventions surely neither do turkish officials say where they received the tipoff about the suppose it weapons on board some of those have their suspicions this is washington telling prime minister earlier one who says he's so independent to go in and go for it down the use the f. sixteen s for all its peace mongering talk and righteous outrage over russia's supposed unwillingness to help out in peace efforts on karrar peers to be surprisingly open when it comes to supporting one side in the syrian conflict the
6:10 pm
rebel fighters it is supporting the rebels it's allowing the. large quantities of ammunition and rockets. to enter syria. lebanese journalist uniform was described what she believed to be an arms delivery on the border between turkey and syria yet. the scene was through real barbed wire a dark plane filled with all of trees armed men and flashing lights from trucks packed with weapons each syrian group takes its share in leaves i was asked not to film but the immensity of the scene the journalist you know was interrogated for days by turkish officials before being released when she was back in lebanon should realize the incriminating pictures she'd filmed on the turkish syrian border had been wiped while she was in custody some believe turkey still ety towards president assad has little to do with the situation in syria and everything to do with the
6:11 pm
arms ambitions i was devilish in this country as a major political player turkey is preparing itself for its one hundredth anniversary and twenty twenty three it was the whole campaign of a very ambitious platform of how turkey has been doing since when i was going to position itself as a global power conquer rise establishing itself as a regional boss threatening a whole lot worse with syria and openly violating iraq to seventy by bombing kurdish bases not exactly what bombs but all feats of diplomacy so in turkish officials i speak of peace and stability in the region their words are drowned out by the sound of an exchange of fire with their neighbors in tel aviv in a ghost go r.t. . the pentagon confirmed thursday that it is sent troops to jordan with some one hundred fifty u.s. officers now station near the border with rest of syria washington claims it's to bolster jordan's military capabilities if its neighbors conflict escalates libertarian commentator lou rockwell thinks the u.s. could be trying to intimidate damascus. jordan has long been a better call it
6:12 pm
a satellite the us is not actually an ally it's a province of the us and so why is the us putting in these troops are first of all to imply that some of syria is threatening jordan which of course is not true syria's got their hands full with the us inspired rebels who were trained by the way in turkey at a us air force base for the past several years before this all started so this is just a way to to gin up the tension to bring on more trouble i don't think it's true the u.s. will not use its troops to invade syria but will the trial libyan strategy of simply bombing people endlessly from the air very possible. still ahead this hour a bahrain security forces crackdown on peaceful protesters again demonstrators demanding political reforms as the monarchy reinforce its ties with its powerful military backer great britain. and its moscow court for he is one of the three members of the pussy riot protest band we'll look at what's behind the decision
6:13 pm
that's still to come. a texas mom was arrested and thrown in jail orange jumpsuit and all for neglecting her kids who are playing in front of her house for just a little while a concerned neighbor and sort of say walking across the street you know to talk to an attendant children to find out what's going on went to the total sheet mode and immediately called nine one one because children playing it is truly an emergency worth the police's time but i guess it was worth their time because they showed up and slap the cuffs on the mother who claimed that she was there the whole time and of course to punish you for ignoring your children briefly while they play you'll get thrown behind bars because that makes sense where does this culture of fear
6:14 pm
come from if you leave your kids alone on your own property why does that mean that they are certainly going to die there are dangers out there believe me but living in constant fear abuses your children far worse that's just my opinion. which was that so much to me i mean what i see is if it really. again we have a global economy risk getting back into recession just three years i'm feeling out of the previous growth is slowing in.

russia's judicial system for all the world to see by switching to lawyers that focused on her personal case some might say that she walked out of court for a while her fellow band members went back to jail so. i think she decided to get some real lawyers they weren't before to humiliate russia in the face of the worst but actually free her one major russian concert organizers says they've been flooded with calls from foreign promoters offering to organize a pussy riot world tour that could earn up to six hundred million euros western and russian celebrities have called for the women's release an international considers them prisoners of conscience free pussy riot t. shirts are all the rage. that's the way you attract attention. famous pop stars around the world look at the way but don was dressed look at the look at all the others. we can do as well is that all we could do something

6:20 pm
a really regime as an ally no matter why. it doesn't send a particularly fantastic message when you sending weapons to a country that is using weapons against its people on a daily basis to kill. to crush protests to crush essentially democracy but i think . the reason why why the u.s. and other countries do that is because they want to keep bahrain as an ally iran is seen as an ally of western countries and therefore they want to try and keep that relationship while these governments don't realize that they are out there seems to realize they have a huge amount of leverage they have a lot of ability to convince the hurdle to pressure them into reform perhaps they miss on. the strength they have will perhaps you know that they're scared that their interests which are tied up in that region could be damaged if they you know if there were a democratic change but the reality is the people of bahrain a political democracy they're calling for change i didn't have to be against the west entrance actually i could be very much in the interests of the west and i know

the rest of the world the democratic and stable country. iran says it might consider limiting its enrichment of higher grade uranium if it's allowed to fuel for research reactor it's a revival or previous offer to try and break the talks deadlock over the country's nuclear program germany wants to keep a hard line though urging the e.u. to tighten the already harsh sanctions professor said one hundred marandi from tehran university thinks iran's policy hasn't changed. the iranians are willing to be more open and allow more intrusive inspections and they're willing. to talk about enriching uranium at twenty percent under certain conditions but in general nothing has changed and increasing sanctions by the west will only make things more difficult because the iranians see the sanctions that are being imposed by western governments as inhuman the intention is to make ordinary iranians suffer there is
6:22 pm
a consensus that this is not this doesn't have much to do with the nuclear program the issue is iran iran to independent iran is a country that will not bow down to the western powers and the europeans and americans want to kneel like saudi arabia like most of the other countries in the region and to make ordinary iranians suffer. all these stories and more a click away at our t.v. dot com including some online exclusives here's what's a click away right now ukraine's latest military achievement ukraine is in the country's training of dolphins and reviving an old soviet project to patrol the seas with the military mammals. and fearless felix austrian skydiver completes the highest ever freefall from thirty seven kilometers above earth becoming the first man to break the sound barrier without a vehicle all that and more. polling stations are now closed across
